Rachel Alexandra's Woodward.
http://youtu.be/ysO_Fhc8Fpw I was on the fence, midstretch. You can't hear it on this video, but the noise was like nothing I had ever heard. Used to have a great video on my old phone, I'd play it to my non-racing fans just so they could hear the crowd. It was incredible.

The Rachel Alexandra Woodward was spectacular but my favorite is Goldikova taking her 3rd straight BC Mile in 2010
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7dxPSOhbDU Enjoyed that one so much it threw me off my game and I missed one of the easiest exactas of all time in the Classic

The 2007 Belmont. Rags to Riches over Curlin.
Byk had just introduced us to some regular caller to ATRAB who wouldn't shut up going on and on about Holy Bull and as the race before the Belmont ended announces we should leave and go over to his house to watch the Belmont on his 'flat screen'. We explained we came all the way from Chicago for this race and preferred to watch this live standing at the finish line but I don't think he ever got that. It also helped that we were all over Rags. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xhrOk7jjTI

Carson Hollow / You 2002 Test Stakes
This race was the most exciting racee EVER !!! Maybe because i was live on small pick 6 ticket , I had Carson Hollow singled and my buddy had You singled and we both ended up with 5 of 6. Another outstanding call by the incomparable Tom Durkin. and jerry Bailey riding the hair off you in tight.

Rachel Alexandra - Haskell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwBVd4R5Les Tail end of a long trip for me that included my first visit to Saratoga, trudging through pouring rain 3 times, and many failed wagering opportunities. But, she was unbelievable. Made the whole thing easily worth it.

Anything with Holy Bull at Belmont.. beating Dehere in the Futurity, crushing the Met Mile field, blowing away Twining in the Dwyer.. and especially the 1994 Woodward: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqsVf9UjODE
I wish I had been at Saratoga to see his Travers..

On the undercard, the Diana was an almost equally exciting race. Tates Creek and Voodoo Dancer finished in a tight bob. Sardula and Lakeway in the 1994 Kentucky Oaks was also a great finish to an exciting race. I remember the '94 Oaks and the bad weather the following day, more than I do the Derby, and that was the first one I attended.

2007 Belmont
Funny the first 2 postss were both races which i attended and while th TBD derby was eciting , the Rachel alexandraWoodward was ear shattering with all rising from their seats to applaud her as she came back to the winners circle.
BUT 2 races stand oout to me, the first being the 2007 Belmont Stakes where Rags To Riches beat Curlin and the Belmont stands shook; and that takes some doing ! Enjoy Tom Durkins marvelous call d  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xhrOk7jjTI
